INSTRUCTIONS. 



LESSON 1. 

The design of this Wesson is to teach the correct way to write words composed of a 
single consonant followed by a single vowel. 

The size and shape of the letters in the Wesson should be copied as closely as possible. 
The figures below refer to corresponding figures in the Lessons. 

1, 2, 3. These letters should not be shaded. The joinings are made in the simplest man- 
ner, as shown in the Lessons. L is written downward before e. 

4. This vowel is shaded. When it will not form a good angle with a preceding letter it 
must be disjoined, as in the word shoe. A better joining is secured by writing m and k down- 
ward before this letter. 

5. This letter is shaded and admits of bein? written in the direction of g or b (6), that 
direction being used which will make the best angle. 

7. This vowel is shaded, and is written upward, or (8) downward, that direction being 
used which will form the sharpest angle. See Manual, page 25, paragraf 9, for explanation 
of the change you see in the letter th. 

9, 11, 13, 15. The strokes forming these letters are made straight, or (10, 12, 14, 16) curved, 
whichever will form the best angle with another letter. ew (12) has its point 
toward the right for convenience in writing. The last stroke of ow (15, 16) is shaded to 
more clearly distinguish it from ew. 

17. Certain words occur so often that they are shortened by omitting part of them. These 
are shortened by dropping the vowels.' 18. These are shortened by dropping the consonant. 
The first stroke of i is shaded in the word Mali.. 

19. These three words are shortened irregularly, and being a letter n made half length 
and heavy; now, the letter n and the latter part of the ow, and the, a light, straight, short 
dash, struck in the direction of t or p, made brief that it may be joined to the word 
before or after it. 

The fully written word is in the upper red ink line; the shortened word in the lower line. 

Eead and write over, with all the speed you can, the Writing and Reading Lesson at the 
bottom of the page. You will see in it that some of the simple words that are intimately con- 
nected with each other, are joined together. These are called frases. This joining of words 
in frases adds much to the speed and ease of writing, and does not lessen the legibility. 



LESSON 2. 

The design of this Lesson is to teach the correct way to write words composed of a single 
vowel followed by a single consonant, and how a and s are added to words ending with a con- 
sonant. 

Rule:— A vowel must form an angle at its joining with a following consonant. 

I, 2. These vowels are distinguished from each other by size. Both turn in the direction 
the hands of a clock move far enuf to form a good angle with a following letter. See Man- 
ual, page 17, 3- b. L is written downward after these vowels. Manual, page 27, b. 

3. The manner of writing this vowel is clearly shown in the Lessons. Write m, t, and 
it downward after a. To distinguish ad from j, and at from ch a slight connecting stroke may 
be made as shown in the Lesson, or the a may be disjoined. The same offsetting stroke is 
usually employed between this vowel and z and s. 

4. This vowel is distinguished from ah by size. Its use will be readily understood from 
the words in the Lesson. 

5. 6, 7, 8. The instructions given in Nos. 4, 5, 6, 7, Lesson 1, apply equally to the same 
vowels in this Lesson. 

9. The form and direction of this vowel are same as No. 8. It differs from that letter in 
not being shaded. 

10. This letter is a heavy dot, and occurs only before n. Its position is shown in the 
Lesson. 

II. This letter should be written near the middle of the consonant, to the left of perpen- 
dicular and inclined and above horizontal consonants when it is to be read before them. 

12, 13, 14, 15. See Nos. 9 to 16 of Lesson 1 for explanation; also Manual, pages 29, 30. 

16. These words need no special explanation. Vowels join with each other under the 
same rules as with consonants. The vowel i (short) is sometimes written as a small hook on 
the under side of another letter. 

17, 18. These words are shortened same as those of same numbers in previous Lesson. 
19. Of these word-signs, as is a circle, each drops the hook of the ch. not is a half length N, 

any is an n with a light backward tick, also and altho are formed by joining together the word- 
signs for the separate words, already learned. 

When the circle follows a shaded consonant or an m, with no intervening vowel the sound 
is z. When it follows a light consonant without an intervening vowel the sound is s, except 
when it follows n, l and r. On the ends of these letters it may be either s or z. Where a vowel 
conies between a consonant and an added circle the sound of the circle may be changed from 
s to /.. ,'.s in the words itches (z) etches (z).

INSTRUCTIONS. 



LESSON 3. 

This Lesson, shows the way to join consonants without an intervening vowel. 

Although part of the combinations are necessarily omitted from this Lesson in order to 
get them within the space assigned, yet combinations of similar letters are given from which 
you will understand the joinings of those that are omitted. 

1. Bb, pp, gg, kk should be made one letter above and the other below the line; rr, wr, 
hr and whr are wholly above the line. 

2. Begin these letters with a heavy pressure upon the pen, relaxing it as the movement 
progresses, and allowing the elasticity of the pen to form the tapering line needed. The pen 
should not be allowed to stop on the paper at the finish, but be immediately raised and carried 
to the next letter. 

3. Let the pen be in rapid motion when it touches the paper to form these letters. Gradu- 
ally increase the pressure on the pen to make the tapering line, and finish up the shaded stroke 
with the pen on the paper. 

Where two letters join without an angle no pause should be made between them, but both 
should be struck as one letter, and as swiftly as possible. 

4. 5, 6. These letters join at right angles. 
7, 8, 9. These letters join at obtuse angles. 
10, 11, 12. These letters join at acute angles. 

The manner of writing the variable consonants Th, th, m, l and r, both in these exercises 
and those following, should be studied, so that their use will be thoroly understood, and 
then mastered by repeated drills. 

Between straight letters joining with angles, acute angles are easiest made, then right, 
and lastly obtuse angles. 

15, 16, 17, 18. These letters should be struck without angle or pause. 

19, 20, 21, 22. These combinations are formed of facing curves uniting at various angles, 
and are all easily made, as no change in the direction of the hand is necessary in forming them. 

23. These combinations are formed of opposing curves, and are the least facile of the 
curve joinings. 

By a skillful use of the variable letters, mentioned above, the careful writer will secure 
good angles and facile forms in nearly every case. 

13, 14, 24. The joinings under these numbers will be readily understood from a study of 
the Lesson. 

Study chapters 5 and 6 of the Manual or chapter 5 of the Elements, in connection with this 
Lesson. 



LESSON 4. 

This Lesson shows the correct way to join a between consonants. 

1. This vowel is not shaded, and does not change its position, but should have its opening 
directly to the right. See No. 3, Lessen £. Also Manual, Lesson H. 

Where i (short) follows n as in zany and rainy, it is written as a slight backward tick, as 
in the word any. No. 19, Lesson 2. 

2, 3. These words are shortened similar to those mentioned in Nos. 17, 18 and 19, Lesson 
1. They will be easily read by means of the fully written word in the upper red ink line. See 
second paragraf No. 19, Lesson 1. All should be drilled upon by writing them over and 
over until thoroly mastered.

INSTRUCTIONS. 



LESSON 5. 

This Wesson shows the correct way to write e and i (short) in their full alfabetic form, 
between consonants. 

1, 2. A careful study of the word forms given in the Lesson, together with a review of 
Nos. 1, 2, Lesson 2, will make the method of the joinings clear to you. 

3, 4. These words are shortened as are those in Nos. 2, 3, Lesson 4. See Instructions 
accompanying those numbers. The letter m for him should be written downward. 



LESSON 6. 

1, 2. In many words a more facile form may be secured by writing e as a large hook, and 
i (short) as a small hook on the under side of the preceding letter. Another gain is that you 
are thereby able to express the two sounds with but one stroke of the pen. See Manual, pages 
46, 49, 50, 51, 57; Elements, pages 48, 49. 

3, 4. The method of shortening these words will be understood from a study of the 
Liesson and a comparison of forms as directed in Lesson 4, which see. 

Drill persistently till all the forms are mastered.

INSTRUCTIONS. 



LESSON 7. 

This Lesson shows the correct way to write ah and a (short) between consonants. 

1, 2. Here is shown the use of these vowels in their alfabetic form with their opening 
directly upward. Neither should be shaded, the distinction being made in the size of the letter. 

3, 4. A more facile form may be secured in many words, by writing ah as a large hook and 
a (short) as a small hook on the right or upper side of a preceding letter, there being the same 
gain here as shown in Lesson 6. See Manual, pages 46, 47, 49, 50, 51, 57; Elements, pages 48 
and 49. 

5, 6. These shortened words will be readily understood from a study of their forms in the 
Lesson, and the instruction heretofore given in Like cases. 



LESSON 8. 

This Lesson shows the correct way to write o and u (short) between consonants. 

1, 3. The o and u are here shown in their inclined direction. 

2, 4. Here the same vowels are shown in their perpendicular direction. That direction is 
employed which will make the sharpest angle. See Manual, pages 19, 24, 51, 52, 53, 54; Elements, 
pages 49 and 52.

INSTRUCTIONS. 



LESSON 9. 

1, 2. These vowels are distinguished by shading, and do not vary in direction. Their use 
will be readily understood from the words in the Lesson and from Manual, pages 51, 52, 
59, 62. 

3, 4, 5, 6. These vowels are distinguished by shading and are written either upward or 
downward, that direction being used which will give the sharpest angles. They are best 
written upward in the words under Nos. 3 and 5, and downward under Nos. 4 and 6. 

7, 8. The directions given in previous Lessons in regard to shortened words, apply 
equally to these. 



LESSON 10. 

This Lesson illustrates the correct way to write those vowels which do not join readily 
in the consonant outline. 

1. This vowel, a heavy dot, occurs only before the consonant k, and should be written 
near the middle of the consonant which precedes it, as an additional means of distinguishing 
it from the light clot vowel. 

2. This vowel, the light dot, is written near the middle of the consonant which follows it. 
See Manual, pages 30 to 32. 

Disjoined vowels should be written to the left of perpendicular and inclined letters, and 
above horizontal letters when they are to be read before them; and to the right of perpendicu- 
lar and inclined letters, and below horizontal letters when they are to be read after them. 

Disjoined vowels are usually written near the end of the consonant in the syllable to which 
they both belong, as shown in the Lessons. See Manual, pages 30 to 32, and 57 to 62.

LESSON 11. 

This Lesson shows the correct way to write the diamond pointed vowels between con- 
sonants. 

It will be seen that either or both strokes of these vowels may be made straight or curved, 
whichever form will make the best angle at the joining with a preceding or following letter. 

1, 5, 8, 11. In these words both strokes of the vowels are made straight. 

2, 6, 9, 13. In these words the first stroke is straight, the second a curve. 

3, 7, 10, 14. In these words the first stroke is a curve, the second straight. 

4, 11. In these vowels both strokes are curved. See Manual, lessons 4 and 9. 

15, 16, 17, 18. These frequently occurring words are shortened by omitting vowels, as 
explained in previous Lessons. 



LESSON 12. 

With this Lesson we begin the study of the modifications of the consonant letters, by 
introducing an initial circle on the right and upper side of straight letters, and on the inside 
of curves. The circle is written on the under side of e, for sr, No. 4. The sound of. this 
circle is s. 

1, 2. In these words the circle forms a true difthong with the following consonant, there 
being no vowel sound between them. See Table of Compound Signs, also Manual, lesson 7. 
Elements, page 71. 

3. The circle is often used at the beginning of a consonant even when a vowel, usually a 
short one, comes between it and the following consonant. Tho words under this number in 
the Lesson illustrate this practice quite fully.

INSTRUCTIONS. 



LESSONS 13 AND 14. 

A email initial hook is made on the left and under side of straight consonants to indicate 
the union of an e with that letter, forming a consonant difthong. The k is spoken as the 
second element of the difthongal sound. These characters occur in the beginning, middle and 
end of words; but it will be noted that in the middle or end of words it does not represent so 
close a difthongal sound as it does at the beginning of words. 

The use of these compounds is generally restricted to cases where there is no vowel 
between the consonant sounds of the difthong, but in some very frequently occurring words 
this rule is not strictly observed. In cases of this kind in these and following Lessons, the 
vowel occurring between the elements of the difthong is struck thro the hooked letter. 

The hook is made on the k for shr, and the compound letter so formed is shaded for zhr. 

See Table of Compound Signs, also Manual, lesson 10, Elements, chapter 7.

LESSON 15. 

A Small initial hook is made on the inside of v, f, TH, th, n, ing, to indicate their dif 
thongal union with e, as in the case of the straight letters of the previous JLessons. See 
Manual, lesson 10, Elements, chapters 7, 8, 9. mb do not form a true difthong, there being 
always a vowel sound between the two letters; but the frequency with which these letters 
come closely together makes it desirable to have a single letter for their representation in a 
contracted style of writing. 



LESSON 16. 

A small initial hook is made on the right or upper side of straight letters to indicate their 
dif thongal union with l. The general instructions given in lessons 13 and 14 relative to 
the r hook, apply equally to this hook. 

See Table of Compound Signs, also Manual, lesson 10, Elements, chapter 7.

LESSON 17. 

1, 2. The hooks of dl and tl are made large to distinguish these compounds from J and oh. 

3, 4, 5, 6. The hooks of w, y, h and wh are enlarged to indicate an r, following those 
letters. The vowel occurring between these letters and the added l may be written on the end 
of the hooked letter. 



LESSON 18. 

1, 2, 3. The small initial hook is placed on l for fl, and the compound letter thus formed 
is shaded for vl. 

4, 5. These compounds are regularly formed by adding the small initial hook to the zh 
and 8H. 

6. A large initial hook is used on this letter to indicate its difthongal union with l. 

7. ml, like me do not form a true difthong. What is said of mh in Lesson 1 5 will 
apply to this combination also. 

8. ml in these words is used for the prefix multi. 

9. The letter b is shaded to imply a following l. The vowel occurring between the b and 
l in such words as reel, royal, etc., may be written on the end of the shaded letter.
